MSRP contrib

[lextechs]

I have this loaded on zencart 1.3.8a. Everything looks fine, but I'm having a problem. When my price is higher than the MSRP, the function is still showing. So when people just the page it's showing savings as a negative. So if my price is $4.00 and the MSRP is $3.75. It show my customer that they are saving $-0.25. I thought that is module was to show just my price if it was higher than the MSRP. Why is this showing up?

lextechs, this worked to fix the problem if the MSRP is the same as my price, but it didn't fix it if my price was more than the MSRP.

Here is an example.

I would think you could use that section and change to compare for greater than or less than.

I'm not sure I know where your talking about to do that.

I have NO sql and very little php knowledge, though I do manage to kludge my way through.

Building on the MSRP mod idea, I would like to add a couple of fields to the collect_info.php page. I want to add an entry for my cost and an entry for map (Minimum Advertised Price).

IE:
Products Price (Net): 10
Products MSRP: 15
Products MAP: 10
Our Cost: 5
Products Price (Gross):

Then I would like those new values saved into the products table under products_cost and products_map. I was able to create the fields in the DB. But now I don't know how to populate those fields.

Then in my categories list I want to display the cost price next to/under the current product price. This will help me in creating sales and specials without having to look through spreadsheets, web sites and catalogs to make sure I'm not pricing under my own costs.

There are two modules that does that one is called MAP pricing and one is cost +profit look in the download section

The MAP mod doesn't do what I want it to do. I don't want to replace my prices with an "add to cart to see price" I personally find that to be a real turn off and will not shop at such a store. I just want the MAP price to be collected in collect_info.php and stored in the db. SO when I add/update products the MAP is in the box for MY reference only.

Basically I want to replicate the existing price box, rename it, and have it store it in the db for me. I guess I can stare at the php files and eventually locate the code to replicate.

The cost + profit mod replaces waaay too many files that I have already modified so I'd have to do an install manually by hand. I really dont have the time for that. Since I don't need a profit report and the list of known issues doesn't allow me to justify taking that time to do a manual install.

So again, I just need to find the price code, replicate it, change the right functions to store it in the DB. Then additionally to list it next to the price in my product listing under admin.

I still can't get this to work. I tried adding greater than or less than into it, but nothing changed. It still shows all the MSRP even if my price is higher. Where should I be changing this at?

After going through this installation a few times I finally got the MSRP box to show up in the Products editing page but when I put a price in and save the edit it clears the MSRP back to 0.0000. Any ideas on why this is happening.
I added the table manually through phpMyadmin and all looked OK there. Should I delete the line and reenter it through the Install SQL Patches tool?

I solved this problem. For some reason there were no files in the folder Admin/modules that came in my download, and actually the file location for catalog/admin/modules/update_product.php was wrong. /update_product.php is located in catalog/admin/includes/modules in the version I have - v1.3.8a. Once I used the manual installation instructions and placed the changes into the correct file and locations MSRP worked.
Anybody else encountered this?
